"the worth never put a foot wrong brigade"

I sincerely hope you're not including me in that!

To be fair to Worthington, though, he very quickly put together a back five that worked very, very well, and there was no place for Jackson within it. (I always liked Jackson, btw.) And it worked well throughout our time in the First Division, even when Kenton left and we signed another right-back - in fact it got even better when he did so.

I'm in the "Worthy didn't do too much wrong until 2005, when he had a massive f**king summer spasm" brigade. I actually think his signings after summer 2005 (Robinson aside) weren't too shabby either.

        If Sutch hadn't have come on we might have got to the Premiership under Worthy. (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 30, 23:54:40
